930F bluetooth doesnt work after Oreo Rom was flashed... - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hi folks,
Yesterday I updated my 930F from SupermanRom 2.9.1 (Nougat) to SupermanRom 3.0.1 (Oreo).
After that, I couldnt connect to any of my bluetooth devices.
In the search window they dont even appear with their names, only their MAC adresses are visible (but not connectable).
Going back to Nougat didnt bring the bluetooth functionality back. Still not working.
Same for installing an old modem.
Now I flashed Lineage15.1....And the problem is still there...
So wtf?!?!
What can I try next...??
Little update..I can find my Laptop and connect when I activate its bluetooth connection. But the other devices like JBL music box still dont work.

Having trouble pairing with bluetooth after firmware update

Hey, I have been running the WM6.1 slim edition for some time with no problems (except I couldn't use bluetooth hotsync, however it would pair over bluetooth just fine). The latest release supposedly fixed the bluetooth stack for everyone and they can sync over bluetooth now just fine. So I ran the update (after flashing back down to tmobile factory firmware first then upgrading back to latest release of 6.1 slim).
Unfortunately now, I can't even get my device to pair with my laptop anymore. The laptop cannot see the device, and the device cannot see the laptop. I have both devices in "can be seen by other devices" mode (both my PC and pda) and I have tried searching from the pda, it can't see the pc, and searching from PC, which can't see the pda. When I search from the PC I notice the blue light on the pda blinks, but the pc still never finds it.
I have a tmobile mda, G3, 2.26 IPL/SPL GSM 2.25.11
I am running Windows Vista Ultimate on a Dell XPS M1710 with dell Bluetooth adapter (Dell Truemobile 355 + EDR)
As I said they paired perfectly fine with the previous version of the firmware, now they won't pair at all...
I have deleted the previous pairing, and rebooted both the PC and the PDA. Tried again, no dice.
I have checked device manager, nothing out of whack. Bluetooth is working fine on my laptop still as I am using my bluetooth mouse right now.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
(I posted this in the thread for that firmware as well, but realized this might be a general 6.x issue that happens to other firmwares so I might have better luck on the general forum rather than in the firmware thread itself, so sorry for doubleposting).

Smart Connect is not functioning properly on THL W3 Android 4.0.4

Hi,
I bought the SmartWatch 2 (SW2) and it arrived a week ago.
I have a THL w3 device, with Android 4.0.4 on it(built in; not a custom rom) and rooted.
When it first arrived about a week ago, I tried to connect it again and again and the SW kept displaying the SW->Smart Connect screen. the Smart Connect didn't show that popup window with a link to install the SmartWatch2 app, and even when I installed in manually there was no "edit settings" row in the Smart Connect app.
I tried to connect it to my friend's Motorola Atrix (Jelly Bean, not sure which one) and it worked, and then when I tried again on my phone it seemed to work. I was able to install some applications and even though whenever I turned the SW off and on or the Bluetooth off and on I had to unpair and pair the SW in order to connect it, not to mention that 90% of the times when I paired them there was no pairing request, the phone said it's paired, the SW got stuck on the screen "SW V phone"(connected) but they weren't actually connected.
A few days later, yesterday, I noticed that what i just described only happends when the phone is completely on and ready to use, because if I rebooted my phone and then when it turned on I emiddiatly paired them, it worked and there was a pairing request and everything. but only if I paired them before all the apps were ready, which meant that there was an app that caused the pairing to fail when that app is ready.
I used "Disable Manager"(from the Play store) to disable the Smart Connect app and then I was ablt to pair the phone and the SW properly, only now because the Smart Connect app is disabled I can't use the watch...
I hope I described what happened even though English is not my strongest language...
Summury:
My phone is not fully compatible ith the SW, and the fault is Smart Connect's.
The Motorola Atrix works perfectly with the watch. Is it because of the android version?
If you have any ideas please let me know.

Having trouble understanding, but if the problem is your device's stock rom you could look into trying a custom AOSP rom. Might aswell get something more recent than icecream sandwich. Get on kitkat. Get cyanogenmod 11 and use Gravity box with xposed modules.
Are there any custom mods for my device?
The problem is I couldn't find any custom roms for THL W3. it's not a popular device, and even though I really want a newer version(at least Jelly Bean...) I searched a bit and I didn't find anything.
Is cyanogenmod compatible with every phone? Are you sure that's the problem?

BT Controller on MM

Hello everyone!
I recently experienced problems with my Mad Catz’ C.T.R.L.R Mobile Gamepad on my Mate 7. The gamepad is connected via bluetooth to the phone and can be switched between several operation modes (mouse, gamesmart and Xinput modes). Untill LP 5.1 the controller was working just fine with my Mate 7 but after upgrading to MM it just stopped working. I Can connect to it via bluetooth and the connection seems to be established butit just seems there is nothing "arriving" on the phone, just nothing happens. I checked the gamepad on other phones with MM and on PC, it was working - so it is probably something with the Mate 7 MM software.
Does anyone have an idea about it? Am I missing some security option which blocks the input? Btw i already noticed this loss of function during MM beta.
Did you manage to solve this? Im seeing same issue with honor 6 on android 6.0
Unfortunately I did not manage to solve it. Huawei just messed up input drivers with MM i guess. Only workaround i see so far is downgrade to LP or switch phones (as I will do).

Bluetooth issue (Nikon SnapBridge)

Hello all.
I use Nikon SnapBridge to control my Nikon DSLR.
It connects over Bluetooth from within the app.
It does not add a paired device in android itself.
The problem i have when pairing is after accepting the security keys on the Camera and the S7.
After that the name of the camera dissapears and connection fails from that point.
At first i thought it might be an issue with compatibility because its not one of the most stable apps out there.
But when trying it on my friends stock s7 it worked.
Is there any thing i can do to fix this or am i overseeing something?
mine started doing this after the nougat update, I suspect there is an issue with how nikon creates the connection in snapbridge that no longer works in nougat
yesterday I updated my Note 5 from 6.0.1 to 7.0 and can confirm that the snapbridge app is not longer connecting with the phone. after checking the pairing code on both devices the app stops with pairing failed while the cam D5600 still thinks everything is alright. hope there is an app fix soon.
greets
Timo
It does the same thing on my LG G6. The reviews for SnapBridge are dreadful. I have not been able to make it work at all with a couple of different android devices. And based on reviews online, the app is basically a failure.
Ok same here with galaxy s8. Still no solution?
Nikon snapbridge is fixed. Finally

Hey can you try doing what I did with my problem and see if it works? That is, disabling the Google App. Let me know if it did something.

Hey guys,
I know this thread was originally focusing on issues with snapbridge and Bluetooth, but I am wondering if anyone knows if Snapbridge doesn't support wifi on Android Nougat? Phone is Note 8.
I can't get my camera to connect over wifi at all. Every time I try to connect Nikon D5600 to wifi I get "this option is not available at current settings or in cameras current state." I tried updated camera to firmware 1.02 because it said it had some Android fixes but so far I still get that same error.
Thanks in advance.
I just bought a d850 and at first attempt to connect snapbridge, phone, and camera, it worked on my s7 however after 20 min it completely dropped the wifi not the Bluetooth. I pain stakenly tried to reconnect wifi but was unsuccessful. At this point it was time for an upgrade so I got the S9+ and the app did the same exact thing, no wifi, only Bluetooth. The odd thing is that it works on my Asus tablet and worked at first connection on the s7. I am left baffled and would like to enjoy full res and remote control with phone to my d850. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do?

Bluetooth not working after latest LineageOS update

A few months ago (I forgot exactly when), I updated to the latest available herolte LineageOS build for my (rooted) S7.
As I use a Samsung Gear S2 Classic smartwatch, I went about updating build.prop to make the Galaxy Wear app work on my phone (the app works out of the box on everything except flashed Samsung phones, which is circumvented by replacing 'samsung' with 'htc' in build.prop). However, my watch would not connect anymore, despite resetting my watch, reinstalling the app, etc etc. It simply did not show up on the menu. Then I noticed that I was also unable to connect to my bluetooth speaker as well, despite it being on and working perfectly fine as before with my laptop. Scanning for bluetooth devices simply shows nothing. The smartwatch would show up for very short periods of time and then disappear again, the bluetooth speaker is still listed as 'paired' but attempting to connect to it does nothing.
So, my Bluetooth is broken after this update and I have no idea how to begin fixing this. I have not attempted reflashing my phone yet. Does anyone have any solutions or suggestions for troubleshooting?
